The Sri Lankan youths and the economic crisis of this country have been depicted in many art works with different point of views over the last century years or so. Even we have several films which have confronted on this issue. But we consider the movie c as a significant masterpiece which successfully portrayed the same above issue with a more trans-nationalistic point of view. It is because, the above economic issue itself it¶s trans-nationalistic in its nature. In other words, the perspective which has been used in this movie is Euro-centric ass is the subjects who are portrayed in it. In short, in this trans-territorial globalized world, every issue goes beyond its national boundaries. So does Mille Soya. With above hypothesis we attempt to conceptualize the said movie in relation to the economic underdevelopment in Sri Lanka, which essentially leads to a formation of an Euro-centric fantasy (umbilical) will also be studied extendedly.

Some economic and demographical data will be analyzed to support our hypothesis on theunderdevelopment nature and human migration aspect in the post open market economy in SriLanka. Certain aesthetical, economical and psychoanalytical theories will be articulated oncomparative and contrastive basis to explain the theoretical nature of this thesis. In all aspect theanalytical methodology will suitably be used to illuminate the phenomenological nature of thecontext.

Sri Lanka had been a semi feudal country and was evolving as a feudalistic subsistentagricultural economy before it was eventually taken as a crown colony by the British in 1776.The situation changed in certain segments when it was converted to a plantation orientedindustrial agricultural economy. Unlike the economic transformation in some of the westerncontexts where feudalism was totally uprooted to give way to industrial based liberal capitalism,Sri Lanka was experiencing like many other colonized nations, acquired different phenomenon.In the plantation sector, and related export oriented segments, the economic functions were fairlyindustrialized and the human relationships were modernized to extend which relationships ofproduction determined how men related themselves to the process of production. But in otherparts of the economy remained either feudalistic or sometimes, even pre-feudalistic. Hence thehuman relationships sphere was extendedly were complex and dualistic by nature. The situationremained this way even after the dominion state through independence until the fatalisticintroduction of the open market economy in 1978.
